The Africans kept them in check. Now that they have bailed, the umc is in free fall.
The umc is already at #4, “Wear it’s carcass as a skinsuit while demanding respect!”
The umc collapse is going to resemble the end of sears. Sears didn’t go belly up over night or over even a couple of years. Sears was methodically bled out over a decade.
Sears was in middling shape two decades before that, but when Sears was seen as ripe for taking, it was.
Sears was in a unique situation. They owned their stores and the property they sat on.
The last decade of Sears, the company was not run to try to turn things around. They would run to the brink, close stores and then sell property. Rinse/repeat. Once exhausted, sell the trusted in house brand names(Kenmore, craftsman, diehard). It was the slow steady bleed out.
All of those properties were sold to a single mall properties developer whose board shared common members with the Sears board. They redeveloped the Sears space at fayette mall in lex and my mall here in paducah.
That’s where umc is at right now. The national church owns the properties and don’t care if congregations fail. The sale of failed churches will keep the national church open and what ever national leftist causes they endorse alive.
Until there’s none left to sell.
This is a follow up vid to your post. Sane leadership is never returning.
